Establishing a new University newspaper? Suffering from ads?

Given that Tass has now left this team, were without a PR person again. This, obviosuly, should not be allowed to stand, so we need to find ourselves someone else to write our newspaper, as well as finding a new name for it. Having written the CNN in the previous DG, I'd be willing to take up the position; is there anyone else who would like to?

I'm afraid to let too many functions drop on your and Arch's shoulders - I certainly wouldn't mind if you did it, but do you think you'll manage? Granted, your footy manager skills won't be in much demand until later in the season

I might give it a try, but I'm not sure if I can handle it... there are a few Busy RL Things (tm) going on .

I might also be able to help, but I must agree that RL is a pain in the old neck.

Bah, don't worry. I managed to serve as Commish, CNN Editor and Governor of about half the faction at the end of the first DG...

Ok... any suggestions regarding the name? Should I just keep it as the University Tribune, or use a new one?

The least we can do is change it. I never liked the Tribune anyway, and since the vote was in the public area I guess the Hive members staged it.

It's your call, but I'd like Planet University Post. Or PUP. Surely we can scrap up a picture of a nice doggy somewhere as a logo

Well, I've got no real preference (although I don't much like the Tribune name either...), so I'm open to suggestions.

If you can do it, GT, I'm all for it.

Regarding the name, I liked moomin's suggestion, but I'd offer my own: "The Science Monitor".

None of these names have particularly hit me, but I like Googlie's idea.

Arghh, this is so hard to decide... however, on balance, I think I'll go with the Science Monitor. It fits the University rather better than the others...
